ACORNS SPEND BETA TEST AGREEMENT
If you want to participate in the Acorns Spend Beta Program, please carefully review these terms of this Acorns Spend Beta Test Agreement (the “Agreement”), the terms and conditions of your Acorns Spending Account, including the Arbitration Provision contained therein, and the terms of your Acorns Program Agreement. By clicking “Join The Beta”, you agree to apply to participate in the Acorns Spend Beta Program, and if approved, be legally bound by the terms of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of your account.
This Agreement is entered into between you and Acorns Pay, LLC (“Acorns Pay”). Clicking “Join The Beta” has the same legal effect as signing a paper version of this Agreement. This Agreement supplements the Acorns Program Agreement, including the Spending Account Agreement attached as Attachment G thereto, and does not supersede any of the terms and/or conditions of the Program Agreement or Spending Account Agreement except where such terms and/or conditions are expressly contradicted in this Agreement. Terms used but not otherwise defined herein are given the same meaning as in the Program Agreement.
1. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Acorns Pay grants to you, for the period from the date hereof until the general public release of the Acorns Spend debit card (the “Spend Beta Period”), a limited non-exclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the Acorns Spend debit card and related beta software products for your Acorns Spending Account (the “Beta Software”) for the purpose of your evaluation and feedback. Use of the Acorns Spend debit card during the Spend Beta Period and use of the Beta Software are together constitute the “Acorns Spend Beta Program”.
It is anticipated that general public release of Acorns Spend debit cards will begin on or around November 1, 2018. However, Acorns Pay and Lincoln Savings Bank may, from time to time at their sole discretion, extend, shorten, or otherwise modify the anticipated delivery date by posting changes at the Acorns website or in the Acorns app.
2. Subscription Fee. You will not be charged a fee for participating in the Acorns Spend Beta Program. During the Spend Beta Period, your Subscription Fee will be calculated in accordance with Section 2.1.1 of the Program Agreement as if you did not have an Acorns Spending Account. Once the Spend Beta Period has ended and this Agreement has terminated, you will be charged a Subscription Fee which includes the fee for an Acorns Spending Account in accordance with Section 2 of the Program Agreement.
3. Termination. The licenses granted hereunder terminate on expiration of the Spend Beta Period. Additionally, Acorns Pay may terminate this Agreement and end the Acorns Spend Beta Program upon written notice to you at any time. If this Agreement and/or the Acorns Spend Beta Program is terminated prior to the expiration of the Spend Beta Period, you may be unable to continue using your Acorns Spend debit card and Acorns Spending Account during the remainder of the Spend Beta Period. If this Agreement and/or the Acorns Spend Beta Program is terminated as a result of the expiration of the Spend Beta Period, you may continue to use your Acorns Spend debit card and Acorns Spending Account, subject to the terms and conditions of the Program Agreement, Spending Account Agreement, and Lincoln Savings Bank Agreements. Sections 3 through 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
